[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 14, Issue 183

Wed Aug 11 13:25:50 MDT 2021

Gas tank. There are a lot of original Triumph parts that are unavailable today. I have a lot collected over 25 years. Don’t let them go to the scrap yard. I have listed two California TR4A and no interest from you guys. I’m getting older and my kids will send them to the scrap yard. We should not let this happen.

The old tank is in sufficiently good condition that it can be repaired and restored for anyone who wishes to have it for a spare.  I am going to offer it to the Triumphs list for the cost of the shipping, but I thought I would repay your assistance by offering it to the three of you first.  I suspect that the shipping will be about $25.00 as that is what Moss charged to ship it to me.  It weighs about 23 pounds boxed up.  I am in Lavonia, GA (area code 30553) and Marietta GA (area code 30068) if you are interested.  Jeff, I am in Athens occasionally and could meet you sometime if you have a need for the tank.
